A constantly-changing version of reality:
When asked on ABC News to either justify with fact Trump’s statement about illegal voters or acknowledge that it was a misstatement, Vice President-elect Mike Pence was belligerent. “I don’t know that that is a false statement, George (Stephanopoulos), and neither do you!”
On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” when asked about Trump’s wrong assertion about illegal voting, Priebus stonewalled with the same preposterous rhetoric as Pence. “I don’t know that that’s not true. … No one really knows.” The incredulous moderator followed with: “You think millions of people voted illegally?” Priebus replied: “It’s possible.”
I'm not usually one to blame the media for everything, but in my opinion, they own about 90% of this perpetual prevarication problem. When Trump was on the campaign trail, fact-checking took a back seat to bread and circuses, and Trump soon learned that he could say anything that crossed his twisted mind, and not have to pay the price for hyperbole, or even downright falsehoods. And he's bringing that "get out of truth free" card with him to the White House.
